Mostly Singles: Northern Soul, 78s, New Zealand (Audio)

Sep 26, 2023

More of what was great last time, with the added magic of the Kiwi Isles. Stanley Mitchell, Detroit Emeralds, David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights; Able Tasmans, early Fats, Jubalaires, vibraphones, combos, stompers, and Chills. The shellac’s on fire, the soul’s sublime, and the NZ sides are soaring. This one is joy.

Claverack resident Michael Wilde presents "Mostly Singles," selections from an extensive collection of 45 rpm vinyl — music from the 1950s, '60s, '70s and early '80s, mixed with some 78 rpm selections from American popular song and field recordings from the Library of Congress and folklore archives. Broadcast live from the Hudson studio.
